James Trussart Steeldeville Bigsby #16155 · Electric Guitar

A Trussart Steeldeville in Black Snakeskin with Bigsby and perforated back.

In the 1970s, James Trussart began to build violins, metal dulcimers, and metal hurdy gurdy's before focusing on guitars. He is one of the few guitar builders who have taken the step away from traditional guitar construction. Since 2000, he has been living in Los Angeles, producing rare and collectible hand-built musical instruments. His preferred work material is steel. His instruments are as unique in appearance as in sound.
